Richard, why does he say he can't he do it? Your frame is the same as an IRS
frame, although it was modified to fit the solid axle. This modification was
that the large "bridgepiece" used to fit the IRS springs was eliminated. I
think he would need to improvise a fitting for your exhaust in that area.
I'm going to send this to the "triumph list" and see if anyone there has
mounted a Monza exhaust on their solid axle TR4A. TR4's had a completely
different frame than the TR4A's (and TR250/5/6's) because of the IRS. Cheers.
